Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) today announces the debut of The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi as the St. Regis brand continues its dynamic global growth and nearly triples its portfolio in just five years. This opening marks the first of three St. Regis hotels slated to debut this year in the Middle East including The St. Regis Abu Dhabi situated on the Corniche and The St. Regis Doha in Qatar. Globally, St. Regis will build on its expansion with the debut of The St. Regis Mauritius Resort and the newly renovated St. Regis Aspen Resort later this year, further lengthening Starwood's lead in luxury hospitality.
"We are thrilled to debut The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi as our first St. Regis hotel in the Middle East," says Paul James, Global Brand Leader of St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. "As one of the world's economic hubs, Abu Dhabi has become a new 'must' on today's global Grand Tour, and St. Regis is inimitably positioned to cater to the needs of these global travelers, offering bespoke luxury informed by the brand's unique legacy." Beginning in the early 19th century, each generation of affluence went on a Grand Tour through Europe to collect experiences and cultivate culture. Subsequently, today's elite communities travel to Old World cities including London, Rome and New York in addition to new world hotspots as diverse as Aspen, Shenzhen, New Delhi and Abu Dhabi. As a hotel brand created for a new generation of luxury travelers, St. Regis is building on its portfolio of existing iconic hotels with destinations at the heart of the Global Grand Tour itinerary, amplifying John Jacob Astor IV's vision to create 'the finest hotel in the world' with each new addition.
